🔹 01 — WHAT IS AN EVIL TWIN ATTACK?

An Evil Twin Attack is a cyber attack where a hacker creates a fake Wi-Fi hotspot that mimics a legitimate one (like at a café, airport, or library).

Once a victim connects, the attacker can:

Monitor all online activity

Intercept sensitive data (passwords, messages, banking info)

Redirect to fake login pages (phishing)

🧠 It’s like putting on a disguise and listening to someone’s private conversation.

🔹 02 — HOW DOES IT WORK STEP-BY-STEP?

👤 Hacker sets up a Rogue Access Point

📶 Names it just like a real Wi-Fi (e.g., “Airport_Free_WiFi”)

📲 Victim connects without knowing

🕵️‍♂️ Hacker captures everything using packet sniffers or man-in-the-middle (MITM) tools

🔁 Hacker may redirect user to a fake website asking for login credentials

📌 It’s not just about spying — some Evil Twin attacks actively trick you into typing your credentials into fake websites.

🔹 03 — REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE

You're at Starbucks. You see two networks:

Starbucks_WiFi

Starbucks_WiFi_Free

You choose the second one. It connects, seems fine…
But it’s the hacker’s network.
They now have access to:

✅ Your Instagram password
✅ Your Gmail session
✅ Possibly your bank login (if you don’t use HTTPS or a VPN)

📎 This happens fast and silently. You may never even know.

🔹 04 — TOOLS HACKERS USE

🔧 Here are tools used in real Evil Twin Attacks:

Airbase-ng: Creates fake APs

Fluxion: Combines Evil Twin + phishing attacks

Wireshark: Sniffs traffic and captures packets

Karma Attack: Auto-responds to devices looking for known networks

Bettercap: Powerful MITM tool that can hijack sessions

⚠️ These tools are open-source — free and legal to download. That’s why awareness is critical.

🔹 05 — WARNING SIGNS OF A FAKE WI-FI

Be suspicious if:

🚩 You see multiple networks with the same or similar name
🚩 The Wi-Fi asks for login before connecting to the internet
🚩 Internet works slowly or randomly disconnects
🚩 You get a browser warning about invalid certificates
🚩 You’re redirected to a weird-looking login page

🔍 If the network asks you to “log in” before browsing, be extra cautious — especially if it’s a public place.

🔹 06 — HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

✅ Never access banking or personal accounts on public Wi-Fi
✅ Use a VPN to encrypt your traffic
✅ Turn off auto-connect to open networks
✅ Use HTTPS Everywhere (browser extension)
✅ Ask the staff for the official Wi-Fi name
✅ Use 2FA — even if they get your password, they can’t log in
✅ On phone? Use mobile data for sensitive actions

💡 Bonus Tip: On Android, disable “Wi-Fi scanning” in location settings to stop devices from auto-broadcasting known networks.
